What do you use to hold your patio lights on? I see those expensive specialty clips advertised and wonder how many use them?
Being so cheap, I use something else. I clip ours up using binder clips from an office supply store..... cheap, readily available, effective!
See here http://www.staples.com/Catalog/Brows...e=Binder+Clips for what I'm talking about. And those are the size I use!

And.... just for fun..... what design or style of lights are you currently using?

Patio lights on Airstreams? Surely you jest. I was informed early on that Airsteamers did not display patio lights or hang laundry from the unit. It was said in a very lighthearted manner, but the number of units displaying patio lights are few and far between. I still have my Silverbells in a box, inverted 4" plastic flower pots with holes in them and painted silver, to date they have never been displayed and I have had them for over 5 years.

Hmmm. I must have an Airstream Look-Alike, then! Because I do have, and display, and Gasp! acutally LIGHT them! My patio lights that is.
The only ones I have actually kept in the unit are plain globes in various colors. I do have some bamboo tiki lights, and just bought some Chinese lanterns in assorted colors.
Only today i have spent an inordinate amount of time figuring out how many lamps I need, how to wire them together and at what spacing, to do both ends of the patio awning, and all across the front.
I think I'm gonna like the round lanterns!
As for laundry, does it count if we put it on hangers first? That's how I usually dry shirts.... slip them on a hanger, button up the front, and let the breeze do it's thing.... now with towels, that's different! Those i toss over the dog fence, and act nonchalaunt......

Trying to convince hubby we need some 'fun' lights..... naked ladies, or poodles, or something not quite so staid....

I use the slide-in holders you can get from Wal-mart. As for A/S owners not using lights - that would be a bummer, as I finally bought a lit palm tree that I can't wait to use. I saw one last year in a hardware store and passed it up. But I thought about it (with regret) for a year, and was so happy when I visited that same hardware store again, and it was there.
